●PAL: Phase Alternate Line. A television standard in which the phase of the colour carrier is alternatedfrom line to line. It takes four full images (8 fields) for the colour-to-horizontalimages (8 fields) for thecolour-to-horizontal phase relationship to return to the reference point. This alternation helps cancel outphase errors. For this reason, the hue control is not needed on a PAL TV set. PAL, is widely used inneeded on a PAL TV set. PAL, is widely used in Western Europe, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, andMicronesia. PAL uses 625-line, 50-field (25 fps) composite colour transmission system.

●Brightness：Usually refers to the amount or intensity of video light produced on a screen withoutregard to colour. Sometimes called black level.

●Contrast Ratio：The ratio of the high light output level divided by the low light output level. Intheory, the contrast ratio of the television system should be at least 100:1, if not 300:1. In reality,there are several limitations. Well-controlled viewing conditions should yield a practical contrastratio of 30:1 to 50:1.

●Colour Temperature: The colour quality, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K), of a light source. The higherthe colour temperature, the bluer the light. The lower the temperature, the redder the light.Benchmark colour temperature for the A/V industry include5000°K,6500°K,and9000°K.

●Saturation: Chroma, Chroma gain. The intensity of the colour, or the extent to which a given colour inany image is free from white. The less white in a colour, the truer the colour or the greater its saturation.Saturation is the amount of pigment in a colour, and not the intensity.

●Gamma:The light output of a CRT is not linear with respect to the voltage input. The differencebetween what you should have and what is actually output is known as gamma.

●Frame: In interlaced video, a frame is one complete image.A video frame is made up of two fields, ortwo sets of interlaced lines. In a film, a frame is one still image of a series thatmakes up a motionimage.

●Genlock: Allows synchronisation of otherwise video devices. A signal generator provides a signal pulseswhich connected devices can reference. Also see Black Burst and Color Burst.

D4 User Manual 41

eight full field bars. On computer monitors the most commonly used colour bars are two rows ofreversed colour bars

●Seamless Switching: A feature found on many video switchers. This feature causes the switcher to waituntil the vertical interval to switch. This avoids a glitch (temporary scrambling) which often is seen whenswitching between sources.

●Scaling: A conversion of a video or computer graphic signal from a starting resolution to a newresolution. Scaling from one resolution to another is typically done to optimize the signal for input to animage processor, transmission path or to improve its quality when presented on a particular display.

●PIP: Picture-In-Picture. A small image within a larger image created by scaling down one of image tomake it smaller. Other forms of PIP displays include Picture-By-Picture (PBP) and Picture- With-Picture(PWP), which are commonly used with 16:9 aspect display devices. PBP and PWP image formats requirea separate scaler for each video window .

The aim is to present a similar range of luminance to that experienced through thehuman visual system.
